Uhm, because you guys went natzi on me, I didnt get any comments.
@sonofthesky - Obviously, it's just a recolor, but it's a great palette and it really fits Milotic well. The only thing that stands out to me a little bit is that the...ears or whatever are a little bit light and sort of clash with the rest of the sprite's dark colors. If you could darken the color, I think it'd improve the sprite, not that it's not great already.
I beg to differ.

Good recolor, but there are a lot of those lighter pixels on the outside. Also one of his teeth seems out of place.

^^Ha, that's nice. Good job, but I feel as though the teeth seem awkward right there...you should either get rid of them I think or make them fit into the mouth better.

Heres one I just made, pretty basic...

fire type Walrein:


Fires pretty much the opposdite of ice, so heck, why not make it?

Good so far. I'd add a bit more of sevper, since right now it's feeling pretty recolorish.

That's nice. It would be kind of cool to see some more colors, but its beyond impressive as is.

There are no pixels missing on the lily pad, and if you are talking about the yellow ones as the unnecessary ones I added those because they are on medicham's head.
I also had the colors a little off, here's the updated one:

Updated version looks much better.

The Dots are a nice touch.


My Gible/Spheal Splice Family

Gieal


Galeo


Garein



I Scratched the feet in Galeo and Garein and the arms in Galeo.

The tail of Gieal was also scratched and the ears.

I'd say that's about right, the only one that looks like a splice is Gleal. Good job scratching Galeo's arms though.

Oh, and Garein needs more shading near the belly and neck area, and those lines on the wings or whatever you call them are pretty...bad looking. Maybe if you curved them, they would look better?

EDIT: 400 posts, yay?

2nd EDIT: Heres a splice I just finished:

Eh, nothing fits. The legs connect at an awkward place, and the fluffs just look tacked on.
Try fusing Pokemon with similar body parts before you try more complex sprites.

Gibeal

Galeo

Walrichomp

^^ i know he has a messed up claw, cant fix it...

All splices
They don't look like splices. The parts that youdid add, you added poorly. Try making it look natural. The colors are...well, terrible. Recolor the outlines to a darker shade of blue and make it look more "sprite" and less "watercolor painting".

Yeah it does look kinda funny. I think I'm going to took that hat off and edit it.

new ones:
(decided to try making the skin purple too)
Maybe with these you could try some variation of color. It looks too much like I'm playing a 1st Gen poke game. The sprite is all one color.

It's a nice concept, and has a good color scheme, but it looks a bit sloppy.
Overall, though, all I'd say is that it needs to be neater, and it will be one awesome sprite.
By the way, which is better, my new avi or the old one? This is my new one.
Any opinions?

Needs a darker line for the mouth, otherwise your new one is better.
